Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

Comprehensive Meta-Analysis is a powerful computer program for meta-analysis. The program combines ease of use with a wide array of computational options and sophisticated graphics.

“Even in its earliest versions, Comprehensive Meta-Analysis was easy to use. More importantly, Michael Borenstein and his colleagues were readily available to assist with the few questions I had about the software. For beginners in meta-analysis and for seasoned researchers, I highly recommend this program. You will not be disappointed.”

“I am a PhD Candidate and used your software to successfully complete my Master's thesis. I find the CMA software to be very user-friendly; it was easy to learn how to use and has an excellent selection of options for analysis. I also find the customer support to be very helpful and timely. I would and have recommended the software to others.”
